Podcasts about Biosphere

Mapping Metroid is back, and we're going somewhere we've never went before: The Bottle Ship! That's right, after years and years of this podcast, we're finally covering an area from Metroid: Other M, and we're starting off with the sprawling and creepy Sector 1 Biosphere! We cover all the grand rooms in the area, discuss some of the imposing creatures, go over the many boss fights and power-ups, talk about the reveal of the bioweapons conspiracy, lament over the prolonged third-person slow walk session, and of course, give our thoughts on Little Birdie and it's evolution! All this, PLUS some Donkey Kong Bananza and Breath of the Wild Switch 2 notes! Come and hang out with us!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

How do astronomers detect the conditions for life and techno-signatures on exoplanets many lightyears away? What conditions on earth give us clues to how life might have formed elsewhere? How do intelligent civilisations evolve to technomaturity before they destroy themselves?So in this episode we have the mysterious arising of life and eventually intelligent life on our planet to try and explain, to then apply that to our search for other intelligent life in the cosmos. So to explain that we're going to be getting into the co-evolution of the geosphere and the biosphere on earth and their corresponding feedback loops; the possibility of planetary level intelligence; the difficulty of laying a technosphere on top of the geo and biosphere, and the risk of civilisations wiping themselves out before learning how to harmonise the technosphere with the biosphere; We'll be looking at the changes in the field of SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Terrestrial Intelligence), since we can now identify potentially life sustaining exo-planets in nearer parts of the galaxy; we're going to get into the newly funded search for techno signatures from advanced civilisations, and potential space junk from the many civilisations that presumably didn't make it; lastly we're going to discuss recent claims of ancient and alleged present visitations to earth by extra terrestrial intelligence.Fortunately to face these tough and complex issues, our guest is a world specialist in astrobiology, with a talent for making these topics fun and imaginative, an astrophysics professor at the University of Rochester, Professor Adam Frank. He's the author of over 200 scientific papers and 6 books for the general public including, “The Blind Spot: why science cannot ignore human experience” and “The Little book of Aliens” which we'll be focussing on today. He's also an award winning science communicator, on a mission to raise public awareness about existential risk and science in general.What we discussed:00:00 Intro.05:20 The importance of experience.07:00 The limits between the expressible and the inexpressible.09:10 Semantic Information: life as self organising, autonomous agents.15:00 There's stuff you can't talk about - there's only the silence16:20 The Basian probability of other life in the universe.20:00 The ingredients for life on this earth.22:30 The codependence between Geo and Biosphere.22:60 Gaian feedback loops. 27:00 The earth is not conscious but it is an agent.29:45 Mind is a process, it's not just in the head.33:25 The fluidity of individuality.34:30 Distributed Cognition - bacteria, fungal networks etc.38:30 A fundamental reimagining of what we mean by ‘Nature'.39:30 There is no disembodied perspective.41:00 Geosphere to Biosphere to technosphere maturity.47:30 The biosphere offers a model for what planetary intelligence looks like.48:00 The history of search for extra terrestrial Intelligence, SETI49:00 The Drake equation - 7 requirements for intelligence life.53:45 We've never looked - a tiny amount of the sky has been studied.54:00 Exoplanets: searching for biosgnatures and techno signatures.56:00 Technospheres: Kardeshev scale and Dyson Spheres.59:00 Techno junk from dead civilisations.01:02:30 UFO's need more data to be taken seriously.01:08:20 UFO's could be surveilling their spy tech.01:10:00 Pros and Cons of solar system settlement.References:Adam Frank, Evan Thompson, Marcelo Gleiser, “The Blind Spot: Why science cannot ignore human experience”.Adam Frank, “The Little Book of Aliens”Adam Frank, David Grinspoon, Sarah Walker - Intelligence as a planetary scale process.Lynn Margulis - Evolutionary Biologist.David Krakauer et al, An information theory view of individuality Frank Drake - ⁠Project Ozma⁠Jason Wright - SETI meta-analysisExoplantets.orgAdam Frank - New York Times ‘I'm a Physicist Who Searches for Aliens.

“I want to draw the similarities with alien life, and we have these questions.

There are living creatures dwelling deep below the surface of the Earth, as deep as we are able to drill. These hearty microorganisms are related to more familiar life forms on land and under water, but the operate and survive in ways that are quite different from what we're familiar with. They live off of nutrients that have penetrated from the surface, or sometimes off of pure electrons. Karen Lloyd is a scientist who has traveled around the world studying these organisms, as she explains in her new book Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/05/12/314-karen-lloyd-on-the-deep-underground-biosphere/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Karen Lloyd received a Ph.D. in marine sciences from the University of North Carolina.

This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Elie Danziger can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2025/05/the-ecosystem-multiple-navigating-the-transatlantic-fate-of-biosphere-1-%c2%bd/. About the post: Experimental "ecosystems" emerge from the relation between facilities. The DSE case shows how ecosystems are defined relationally, not only through interoperability (as with LEO), but also through ever-analogical definitions: the "ecosystem" idea is located at the meeting point of fully-interdependent instantiations by various experimental facilities across continents. (This episode is available in additional languages on Platypus, The CASTAC Blog.)

Biosphere, not to be confused with Bio-Dome, kind of took us by surprise. Mostly because we didn't remember the trailer, so it was like going in blind. That made it all the more fun. With Sterling K Brown and Mark Duplass on screen the entire movie, there is no lack of presence. A post-apocalyptic bit about two men surviving in a small biosphere, Biosphere makes you feel right at home with the characters. The camera work is intimate, the writing is natural, and the plot will fire up thinking processes you would never expect watching a light comedy. While science fiction, this film keeps itself grounded. Many good filmmaking lessons here, as well as a great watch. Biosphere can be found on IFC.

Visitors imagine Biosphere 2 as a place for large scale research on plant life and ocean biology.

Esta Semana Santa, muchos destinos en España rozan la ocupación total, impulsados por el uso de tecnologías como la inteligencia artificial, el big data y la automatización. Según expertos de The Valley, estas herramientas están transformando el turismo al permitir una experiencia más personalizada, eficiente y sostenible, además de optimizar la gestión de la demanda y los flujos de visitantes.Valencia ha presentado su Plan Estratégico de Turismo 2025-2028, enfocado en consolidar la ciudad como líder en turismo urbano sostenible. El plan busca equilibrar el crecimiento turístico con la calidad de vida de los residentes, abordando 22 retos y 50 medidas prácticas, adaptándose a un entorno cambiante.El ministro de Industria y Turismo, Jordi Hereu, ha anunciado que este mes se espera la llegada de 15 millones de turistas internacionales durante la Semana Santa, destacando un crecimiento del gasto en el interior y norte de España, superando a las islas. Además, subrayó que el turismo ya está experimentando una desestacionalización, con un aumento significativo de visitantes durante todo el año.HolaCamp ha renovado el certificado internacional Biosphere en cuatro de sus cinco campings, como parte de su compromiso con un turismo más sostenible. Esta certificación, otorgada por el Instituto de Turismo Responsable, reconoce los esfuerzos de la operadora catalana por avanzar hacia un modelo de gestión alineado con los principios del turismo responsable.SmartRental Group prevé una ocupación media del 92% en Semana Santa, con un aumento del 25% en facturación y un 21% en la tarifa media diaria respecto al año anterior. El crecimiento se atribuye al auge del turismo internacional, las reservas anticipadas y la alta demanda en destinos urbanos como Madrid, Sevilla y Budapest.

Join us this month on GeOCHemISTea as we sit down with Brittany Hupp, Assistant Professor at George Mason University in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Earth Sciences. Brittany specializes in micropaleontology, sedimentology, and low-temperature geochemistry, exploring ancient climates and ocean conditions to better understand modern environmental challenges.In this episode, Brittany shares her unconventional path into geosciences—from a dairy farm in rural Ohio to oceanic research cruises—and offers practical advice for aspiring geochemists seeking interdisciplinary careers. She introduces listeners to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a pivotal ancient global warming event used as a critical analog to current climate change. Brittany explains how geochemical proxies, such as stable isotopes and trace elements in microfossils (foraminifera), illuminate past temperature shifts, ocean acidification, and hydrological changes.Tune in for captivating stories from life at sea, including the social dynamics aboard research vessels, and discover how paleoclimatology provides valuable insights into Earth's climate sensitivity and future scenarios.Grab your tea... it's time to spill!For this episode we read:The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum: A Perturbation of Carbon Cycle, Climate, and Biosphere with Implications for the Future (McInerney and Wing, 2011)Diagenetic Attenuation of Carbon Isotope Excursion Recorded by Planktic Foraminifers During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (Kozdon et al., 2018)Development of a novel empirical framework for interpreting geological carbon isotope excursions, with implications for the rate of carbon injections across the PETM (Turner and Ridgwell, 2016)Individual foraminiferal analyses: a review of current and emerging geochemical techniques (Fehrenbacher et al., 2024)

In September 1991, eight people moved into Biosphere 2, a nearly airtight glass and steel complex in the Arizona desert. The half-acre farm at its centre would supply all their food. Plants, algae and photosynthesizing microorganisms would supply all their oxygen. If things went according to plan, they would have everything they needed to survive inside for two years – but a lot of people were betting against them. Mark Nelson wrote a book about his time in Biosphere 2 called Pushing Our Limits. Archival footage in this episode was provide by the Institute of Ecotechnics.

L'activiste avait déposé une injonction le 28 septembre 2023 contre cette ferme d'élevage de macaques située à Henrietta, dénonçant les conditions de détention des primates. Il réclame le démantèlement des cages et la libération des animaux. Biosphere Trading Ltd avait été sommée de fournir des explications sur la captivité de ces singes. L'affaire prend une tournure inédite. Linley Moothien qualifie cette audience de « fait historique » et souligne que c'est la première fois qu'un cas lié au "Monkey Business" est débattu en justice à Maurice. Pour rappel, l'affaire avait éclaté après la diffusion, en août 2023, de clichés pris par drone montrant des singes en cage, exposés aux intempéries. Le militant avait alors porté plainte au poste de police de Vacoas avant de saisir la Mauritius Society for Animal Welfare (MSAW).

In this episode of Island Influencers, I sit down with the incredible Jason Bissell, Global AI & Data Executive, Strategic Advisor, and Chair of the UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man Board. From a small village in Somerset to leading global AI, tech, and data companies, Jason's career path and life story are nothing short of inspiring. We talk about how his early experiences, including the influence of his stepfather, shaped his work ethic and drive. Jason shares insights from his pioneering work in AI, data analytics, and virtual reality, reflecting on the evolution of these industries and his transition from corporate leadership to strategic advising. Now based on the Isle of Man, Jason serves as Chair of the UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man Board. He reveals what drew him to the island, his first impressions, and his vision for balancing economic growth with environmental and community well-being. If you're curious about career transitions, leadership, and sustainable innovation, this conversation is packed with inspiration. https://www.thorntonfs.com/island-influencer-jason-bissell

Dr Will Grant, Associate Professor in Science Communication at the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science joined Philip Clark on Nightlife with the latest news and issues in science.

Layman joins me for further jamming on the human/biosphere relationship. We explore the idea of entropy reduction (negentropy) as a natural trajectory and its relationship to the evolution of consciousness. Folding in Nietzsche, we consider the "will to power" in terms of a natural drive related to such processes before turning to the "mereological question": Is humanity (the noosphere) part of the biosphere or is the biosphere part of the noosphere? This leads to further considerations of the unique human contribution to biospheric dynamics, and the question of anthropocentrism in how we frame such relationships. 0:00 Introduction1:28 Nature and Negentropy14:44 Towards a Qualitative Typology of Negentropic Systems25:00 A Natural Direction: The Role of Consciousness and Care35:41 Decentration and Ecologization 41:16 Negentropy and the Will to Power57:35 Mereology and Mutual Transformation 1:11:29 Art and Nature1:21:16 An Appetition for Noospheric Mapping1:39:44 Anthropocentrism and the Human Perspective1:57:43 Conclusion To hear more, visit brendangrahamdempsey.substack.com

Despair. Apathy. Not believing that things can change and be better. Just fully discounting any possibility of progress.  Have you struggled with these feelings? It's called doomerism and you're not wrong for feeling that way.  In this week's episode, Amanda talks all about doomerism (and how to fight it off):Amanda shares what she learned on her desert road trip in search of optimism, with stops at National Parks and more than one geodesic domes.She will share her advice (gained through experience and lots of reading about this topic) for saving yourself from doomerism, while also building up your strength and energy to keep fighting the good fight.And she'll talk about why she is staying on social media.LINKS LINKS LINKSMontezuma Castle National MonumentArcosantiBiosphere 2Photos from Amanda's visit to Biosphere 2Spaceship Earth (documentary about Biosphere 2)Hotel McCoySaguaro National ParkAd Fontes Media Bias ChartJoin the conversation on the Clotheshorse Slack!

I continue my discussion with Layman Pascal about the role of the human in/as/and for the biosphere. After an elegant summary and recap of the topic so far, Layman offers thoughts on specific roles and projects that might be undetaken through collective action to traverse along the negentropic course of the "ecodrome." We chat economics, ideology, ethics, and religion, and also tackle the question of biosphereic consciousness. 0:00 Introduction2:03 Layman's Recap: Sacred Naturalism and the "Ecodrome"18:26 Gaian Demography I: Eco-Heirophants23:30 Civics: Green Mobilization Efforts25:52 Economics: Negentropy as Currency35:03 Ideology: A Post-Neoliberal Spirit of Eco-Cultus43:59 Lower- to Mid-Scale Enaction47:49 The Ethics of Biosphere Extension and Reproduction1:03:53 Gaian Demography II: Roles and Tribes1:21:42 Waking Gaia1:34:44 Religion: A Planetary Devotion1:40:20 Looking Ahead To hear more, visit brendangrahamdempsey.substack.com

Dimitri and Khalid are joined by researcher Reid for a fascinating and bizarre deep dive into Biosphere 2, the ill-fated eco-utopian experiment/media spectacle that briefly captivated the world in the early 1990s. Topics include: Serious cult erasure in Netflix's 2021 documentary “Spaceship Earth”, Biosphere 2's convergence of theater, science, and the sacred, “the naturalist trance”, the early life of Theater of All Possibilities leader John Allen, working for the Battelle Institute and David Lillianthal's Development and Resources Corporation in Liberia and Iran, running off on a Yugoslav freighter, crossing paths with Boston silk topper Marie Harding in India and South Vietnam, founding a radical theater troupe in SF's Summer of Love, experiments in management science, attack therapy at Synergia Ranch, recruiting Texas oil dynasty failson Ed Bass, the carefully-cloaked Gurdjieffian influence, and more… Part one of two.

In the first of a series of discussions, Layman Pascal offers his thoughts on the role of humanity in the biosphere. What new ways are there for appreciating our place on/as the planet and in/as the cosmos? Here we focus primarily on the role of the individual in biospheric processes. How do religion-like activities and sensibilities serve ecological viability and flourishing? How can this vision unite various approaches to value and knowledge in the 21st century?

Discovering a backdoor into the "matrix of control" with a diffracted laser and DMT might sound like a plot from a sci-fi novel, but our guest, Danny Goler, claims it's his groundbreaking discovery. We navigate through the fascinating realm of consciousness and perception, challenging the idea of hallucinations to explore whether these experiences hold a more profound truth. Danny's research, drawing interest from leading scientists, raises pivotal questions about the nature of reality and the potential for accessing these phenomena through meditation, while casting doubt on fully replicating such states without chemical aid.  Our conversation takes a bold leap into the concept of universal consciousness and the intriguing possibility that we are all part of a singular mind, with distinct separations within it. Danny provocatively describes higher-order insect-like minds that operate beyond our perception, maintaining the reality's structural fabric. Such notions challenge the conventional understanding of spirituality and consciousness, urging us to rethink our relationship with reality and unseen entities. As we delve into these complex ideas, we also wrestle with the moral challenges of personal responsibility, drawing from Buddhist philosophy and martial arts to discuss the imperative of acting without hatred and aligning emotions with positive actions. With the weight of societal and environmental impacts on our shoulders, we discuss the necessity of personal responsibility and the potential influence of those in power to shape a better world. The delicate balance between critiquing power and recognizing contributions invites reflection on the ethical responsibilities that come with awareness. We contemplate the Earth's possible responses to humanity's impact and how Gaia might evolve to protect itself. Throughout, Danny captivates with his eloquence and leaves us pondering long after the conversation ends, encouraging listeners to explore more of his work at  and his  ---------------- Chapter  (00:00) - Discovering the Matrix Code (09:16) - Exploring the Concept of Universal Consciousness (20:41) - Embracing Personal Responsibility and Evolution (28:05) - The Evolution of Consciousness (35:38) - Embracing Responsibility for the Biosphere (44:02) - Exploring Power, Responsibility, and Influence (48:23) - Forces of Good and Evil (01:00:11) - Navigating Criticism and Finding Balance (01:11:52) - Engaging Dialogue With Danny Goller ---------------------------- Learn more about Outer Limits of Inner Truth by visiting

In this episode , Steph delves into the concept of resilience, exploring its importance and the ways to cultivate it in our lives. She describes lessons from Biosphere 2, an experiment from the 1980s that taught us valuable lessons about why the trees need wind to survive. The same is true of for all us going through this human experience. The episode concludes with practical steps to enhance resilience and build a stronger "bounce back" for yourself. Let's take the bubble wrap off and face challenge head on, knowing it's what makes us stronger, better, faster.

PREVIEW: #ESG: Conversation with colleague Elizabeth Peek, The Hill and FNC, re the fall of ESG as an investment tool and growth pursuit in a time of worry for climate change and the biosphere. More tonight. 1920 East Texas

23 years ago, the US multi-millionaire Dennis Tito became the world's first-ever space tourist, funding his own trip into orbit. There was clearly money to be made, and now the lure of making space tourism more accessible to the masses is even greater - with several private companies jockeying for position. Jane Poynter's firm is among them.It's an industry experiencing dramatic growth – but the price of any of these trips is out of reach of most of us. We explore whether this firm could achieve its aim of launching more of us into stratospheric heights.And we hear how Jane went on her own journey: from ecologist working in the famous Biosphere 2 experiment in the early 1990s, to looking skywards and the possibilities of a career in space tourism. Presenter: Ed Butler Producer: Amber Mehmood
